Canon Launches New imagePROGRAF TM Series Printers with Sharper Prints and Smarter Scanning
Canon introduces eight new imagePROGRAF TM Series models, including its
first large-format multifunction printers with built-in scanners, designed
for engineering firms, offices, and professional print businesses.
- Expanded Printer Lineup: Canon introduces eight new imagePROGRAF TM Series models, including six large-format printers and two multifunction printers equipped with built-in scanners, giving businesses more options for handling technical drawings, posters, and other professional printing requirements.
- Smarter Imaging Features: The new multifunction models combine printing, copying, and scanning in compact machines, while improved scanning technology, five-colour pigment inks, and enhanced colour reproduction help deliver cleaner documents, sharper lines, and more vibrant prints.
- Practical Business Solutions: Designed for offices, engineering firms, and print shops, the new models emphasize front-access operation, space-efficient installation, high-quality output, and the use of recycled materials in selected printer components.
Eight New Models for Different Business Needs
Canon is expanding its professional large-format printing portfolio
with the introduction of eight new imagePROGRAF TM Series models,
offering businesses more ways to produce detailed technical drawings,
colourful posters, and other essential printed materials.
The latest lineup includes six printer-only models, namely the TM-5500,
TM-5600, TM-5510, TM-5515, TM-5610, and TM-5615. Joining them are two
multifunction printers (MFPs), the 36-inch TM-5610M and the 24-inch TM-5510M,
which introduce built-in large-format scanning capabilities to the series for
the first time.
This expansion is particularly relevant for engineering firms, architectural
offices, design studios, and commercial print shops that regularly work with
oversized documents. Rather than requiring separate machines for different
imaging tasks, the new multifunction models bring several essential
capabilities into one convenient device.
Compact Multifunction Printers with Built-In Scanners
One of the biggest highlights of the new imagePROGRAF TM Series is the arrival
of the TM-5610M and TM-5510M, Canon's first multifunction models in this
particular product family.
Despite their additional scanning and copying capabilities, these machines
maintain dimensions comparable to printer-only models. Their compact
construction can be especially beneficial for workplaces where floor space is
limited.
Canon has also designed the machines for convenient front operation, allowing
users to perform essential tasks without constantly moving around the
equipment. Originals can simply be placed on the flat top for scanning, making
the process more straightforward for employees handling large-format
documents.
For businesses that frequently reproduce blueprints, technical plans, and
other oversized materials, this combination of functionality and space
efficiency could help simplify everyday workflows.
Cleaner Scanning for Technical Documents
Scanning accuracy is particularly important when working with engineering
drawings, architectural plans, and maps, where small details can carry
significant information.
To address this requirement, Canon has equipped its new multifunction models
with light sources positioned on both sides of the scanning mechanism. This
arrangement helps minimize unwanted shadows and reduce the visible effects of
wrinkles and creases on scanned documents.
The machines also feature dedicated scanning presets for CAD drawings,
blueprints, and maps. These settings help users achieve results suited to
specific document types without having to manually adjust every parameter.
For engineering and design professionals, clearer digital copies can make it
easier to preserve important visual details when sharing, archiving, or
reproducing technical documents.
Sharper Lines and More Vibrant Poster Printing
Beyond scanning, Canon has introduced imaging improvements intended to enhance
both technical and creative printing applications.
The new imagePROGRAF TM Series uses a five-colour pigment ink system featuring
an improved matte black ink. This formulation is designed to produce deeper
blacks, more defined lines, and precise text, particularly useful when
printing detailed CAD drawings and technical illustrations.
The printers also support high-speed output, helping businesses handle
demanding printing workloads while maintaining document clarity.
For creative applications, Canon introduces new colour mapping technology that
enables more vivid reproduction, including when printing on ordinary paper.
This capability can be valuable for businesses producing promotional posters,
presentation materials, and other colourful large-format documents without
always relying on specialized printing media.
Together, these improvements make the new lineup suitable for workplaces that
require both accurate technical output and visually engaging creative prints.
Sustainability Through Recycled Materials
Canon has also incorporated recycled materials into selected components of the
new imagePROGRAF TM Series.
According to the company, parts of the printer body contain approximately 5%
recycled iron and 25% recycled plastic. These figures reflect Canon's efforts
to incorporate recycled resources into its product manufacturing.
While printing performance and operational convenience remain central to the
lineup, the use of recycled materials adds another consideration for
organizations seeking equipment that supports their broader environmental
objectives.
Bringing More Imaging Options to Philippine Businesses
With eight new models covering different printing and multifunction
requirements, Canon's latest imagePROGRAF TM Series offers a broader selection
for professional environments.
The TM-5510M and TM-5610M stand out for combining large-format scanning,
copying, and printing in compact machines, while the six printer-only models
provide additional choices for businesses primarily focused on document
production.
For Philippine engineering firms, offices, and print service providers, the
lineup represents another step toward making professional large-format imaging
more accessible and convenient.
Local pricing, availability dates, and specific purchasing details for the
eight models were not provided in the announcement.
